The Enforcement Directorate (ED) Friday summoned actor Yami Gautam in connection with an alleged violation of the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA), sources said.

According to the ED, the 32-year-old actor had received over Rs 1 crore in her bank account but had not disclosed it to the authorities.

The case pertaining to Gautam was sent to ED for probe by the bank where she maintains the account. A bank official said that Gautam had received the money two years back from a foreign entity in six separate transactions. The bank had asked her to explain these transactions as per law but she was allegedly not able to explain the transactions.

This is the second time ED has summoned her in connection with the case. The probe agency has asked her to appear before it on July 7. Earlier, Gautam could not appear before the ED due to the lockdown owing to the Covid-19 pandemic, sources said.

Last month, the Vicky Donor-actor tied the knot with Uri director Aditya Dhar in a private ceremony. She has acted in a number of hit films including Bala, Kaabil and Badlapur.
